Solo Cycling Adventure: England, Summer 2017

In summer 2017 I decided to plan and ride a solo cycling adventure. Plans had fallen through for another trip and I didn’t want to stay at home doing nothing.

Taking the train up to Penrith, in the Lake District, I would spend the next five days cycling back to Nottingham. I would do this via North Yorkshire, Leeds and the Peak District.

I knew the ride would not be easy. Taking the route I had planned meant going over a lot of hills! I’m not the strongest cyclist and with fully packed panniers, this was never going to be an easy task.
